With summer just around the corner it’s time to start thinking about trips to the beach and fun in the sun.
I realized my older boy didn’t have a sun hat that fit so I set to work and whipped up this super simple classic style sun hat.
It reminded me of the french riviera town so I named it the St. Tropez sun hat. I hope you like it!

Thank you so much! I agree we had a wonderful winter but where did Spring go? It is already hot here as well
Thank you for the wonderful patterns! Your St Tropez hat is very nice. It is my next pattern to do! Thank you for all your nice easy to follow patterns. Thanks again! Amanda
That looks awesome, what a fun hat pattern. Pinning.
I can’t believe you made that! It looks amazing! I used to love to sew & do things like this when I was younger, but I haven’t done anything like this in at least 5 years! I used to love making scarfs!

well now is the time to jump back into crafting! crochet scarves and hats for your local homeless project. get out there again as there are so many, and sometimes, too many sewing and crocheting ideas♥
How fun! I’ve been trying out some new hobbies, and I’ve been thinking about crocheting. I’m going to keep this for later:)
Is there a possibility that you will make an adult version of this hat? I love the look and would love to make one for myself.
Hi Debbie. If you add an extra increase round to the top of the hat it should work. Increase up to 84 stitches before continuing onto round 14. Let me know how it turns out 🙂
Hi! I purchased this pattern, and it says it can be made in 4 sizes, but I can’t find what size the original pattern is in, nor can I find instructions for the other three sizes. Thanks for your help!
Oop – nevermind – found it in the pattern itself!!
What a cute hat! What size is this pattern. I’m wanting to make a hat to fit a 12 mo baby.
